AUTISM EMPOWERMENT INSIGHTS
Autistic individuals often experience co-occurring conditions that impact physical and mental health, with up to 84% living with diagnoses like anxiety, ADHD, sleep disorders, epilepsy, or gastrointestinal issues, just to name a few. These mental health, medical, and physical conditions intensify functional challenges and negatively impact quality of life.
